Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of risk factors, symptoms and the importance of looking after your long-term health.

A family history of cancer, smoking, va**ng, poor diet and long-term acid reflux can all increase risk. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as stopping smoking or va**ng, can help reduce the risk of many cancers and improve overall health.

Knowing the signs and understanding risk factors can support earlier diagnosis and better outcomes. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Childrenโ€™s Mental Health Week is a great opportunity to think about how we can support childrenโ€™s wellbeing in everyday life. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“ฑโœจ

Creating healthy habits around screen time and internet use, having open conversations about what children see online, and knowing where to find support can all make a positive difference.

For families waiting for neurodiversity or mental health assessments, trusted guidance and early support can help while youโ€™re on the journey. Small, consistent actions at home can help children feel safer, more confident and better supported.

Mindโ€™s Time to Talk Day is a reminder that talking really can change lives. Whether youโ€™re feeling lonely around Valentineโ€™s Day, coping with grief or bereavement, or struggling with your mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported.
